The walk is basically four sides of a square, each side being slightly less than 1/2 a mile.
The first leg, South to North has arable fields to the left and right, with high Hawthorn on each side (Image 1). The path slopes steeply upwards, with a total climb of about a hundred feet. Towards the top, the Hawthorn is replaced by tall deciduous trees - mostly Ash, with some Beech, for about 100 yards. A shallow stream flows through this darker area. (Image 2)

The second leg has rough pasture to the left and arable to the right for about 100 yards. Then there is a Willow grove on the right with a large field full of Reedmace (Image 3). To the left is uncultivated bog. The road again rises by about 30 feet. Finally there is again arable on either side. (Image 4)
